In So Many Ways No Words Need Be Said To Express The Very Special Gift We Each Had In Dana. Our Community Is Much The Better For Him And Will Not Be The Same Without Him.
No Longer Regularly Living In Charleston It Was Such A Privilege To See Him When I Was There For Only Two Days Before Christmas. Somehow Noticing The Grey Hair Creeping In- But Stylish As Ever.
He Persevered And Yet Prospered In So Many Ways. His Resilience And Sense Of Joy And Fun And Caring We’Re An Inspiration And So Often A Boost Just When Needed Most.
My Family And I Held Him
In A Very Honored Place In Our Lives – And Raising Our Family. Even When Harried And He Juggled A Lot! , He Had A Moment To Make You Feel You Were The Most Important Person Present For Him.
I Know We Each Share Sentiments Of Support For One Another At This Time- And To His Family And So Many Friends As Close As Family I Offer My Condolences . Cheers- To Celebrate A Life Lived And Giving To The Fullest.

My Condolences To The Family And Friends Of Dana Hammond. The Loss Of A Loved One Is A Very Painful Experience That Sometimes Never Goes Away, But Maybe Reading The Following Bible Verses May Help To Give A Little Comfort :
2 Corinthians 1: 3,4 And John 5: 28, 29.
My Thoughts And Prayers Are With You All
